My first camera was a boxy Kodak instamatic that took 126-cartridge film and required "magic" flash cubes. Those cubes burned pretty hot for a six year old.

Since then, I've owned every format camera I could buy for less than a few hundred dollars. Remember the disk camera? Flip-flash? Goofy. I've twice replaced my first SLR, a Pentax K1000...left the first one in a NYC cab; the second was stolen (along with lots of other easily fenced stuff) from my apartment on the Upper East Side. Ironically, although I didn't have any receipts, I was able to get the insurance company to replace it by producing a photo of myself in a mirror with the K1000. Circular...an image of an image of an image-producing camera. I love the K1000 because it's completely manual and I understand both features: shutter speed and aperture. I can't even begin to optimize half the features on my newer, fancier cameras. Anyway, a camera has been my companion for years. I think I even got a Girl Scout badge for photography.

I always feel remiss when I review magazine photo contest winners--I guess I should be recording the technical settings of every shot so I could include them with entries, if I were ever motivated to send in an entry. I'm more the take lots of shots and at least one will probably come out well kind of gal. I think that approach has at minimum improved my composition skills. So all I can tell you about the pics featured here is subject matter and if it was recorded on film then scanned or recorded digitally.
